AceShowbiz - Tekashi 6ix9ine made a striking revelation during a recent interview with Big Bank, admitting that he paid for the opportunity to appear on the show as a way to provide for his family.

The rapper, born Daniel Hernandez, joined Big Bank on the Perspektives With Bank series, where they discussed various topics including accusations of snitching and the importance of loyalty within the rap industry. During the conversation, when Big Bank suggested that constant online criticism might be affecting 6ix9ine emotionally, the rapper responded defensively.

"You're trying to convince me I'm not happy," he said before dropping a surprising statement: "If people didn't know, I'm paying you to be here." He went on to explain, "This is how I feed my family. So this is my job."

The exchange was notable as it highlighted an unusual approach to media appearances, with 6ix9ine openly acknowledging that the interview was a paid arrangement rather than a typical media engagement.

The discussion then shifted to topics like Young Thug, 21 Savage, and the role of law enforcement cooperation in hip-hop culture. Big Bank confronted 6ix9ine about his cooperation with federal authorities during the 2019 racketeering case involving the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods, a subject that has heavily influenced his public image.

In other news, 6ix9ine and his girlfriend, Aliday Alter, recently announced they are expecting a baby boy. The gender reveal party attracted several notable figures, including Adin Ross, Lil Pump, and N3on.

The rapper faced backlash after making a controversial joke during a livestream, where he said he would have preferred to terminate the pregnancy if the baby had been a girl. This comment sparked significant criticism online.
